election weekended with a november surprise. the sudden resignation friday of david petraeus as director of the central intelligence agency. the former army general, the most decorated and highly regarded one of his generation, said the reasons for his resignation were personal. so they were. the story of how petraeus' marital infidelity came to light is as strange as the revelation itself. correspondent bob orr is tracking the investigation. >> good luck, sir. reporter: sources say the shocking downfall of david
9:09 am
petraeus began a few months ago with a complaint to the f.b.i. a female friend of petraeus who officials say is not a government employee reported that she had received a series of harassing emails. the messages were anonymous. while they did not spell out a specific threat, the f.b.i. launched an investigation. federal agents quickly traced the emails back to petraeus' biographer, paula broadwell. a further investigation then revealed stunning evidence that broadwell and petraeus had been involved in an extra marital affair. the f.b.i. found that petraeus and broadwell had exchanged numerous messages. some of them coded. others explicit. the communication seemed so out of character at first that agents wondered if someone had breached the c.i.a. director's email. but that did not happen. sources say when the f.b.i. asked petraeus about the communications, he confessed his indiscretions. as for the woman who received the original emails, officials
9:10 am
say broadwell may have perceived her as arrive al for petraeus' attention. broadwell and petraeus have often been seen together in public. broadwell spent considerable time with petraeus when he commanded forces in after fan stan while doing research for her book "all in: the education of general david petraeus." on her publicity tour married mother of two children said she would frequently conduct interviews with petraeus while on workout runs. she added this comment. >> i think he is a terrific role model for young people for executive, for women and men no matter what. >> reporter: as a four-star general who led forces in both afghanistan and iraq, petraeus became one of america's most revered and decorated soldiers. he also portrayed himself as a dedicated family man. the father of two grown children, publicly praised his wife holy during his senate confirmation hearing. >> she is an army daughter, an army wife, an army mother and an advocate for military families.
9:11 am
i've been blessed to have had her in my corner for some 37 years and 23 moves. i appreciate the opportunity this afternoon to recognize her publicly. >> reporter: but in his parting message to his work force, petraeus confessed a moral failing, saying he used extremely poor judgment that was unacceptable, he said, as a husband and as the leader of the central intelligence agency. just 14 months into his tenure as director, the man in charge of america's secrets was broad down by one of his own. >> osgood: ahead, like night and day. and a portrait... >> i want to be wanted by everyone, you know. >> reporter: at of actress sally field. thought to be the result of overactive nerves

that cause chronic widespread pain. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. i learned lyrica can provide significant relief from fibromyalgia pain. and for some people, it can work in as early as the first week of treatment. so now i can plan my days and accomplish more. lyrica is not for everyone. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior, or any swelling or affected breathing or skin, or changes in eyesight, including blurry vision or muscle pain with fever or tired feeling. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain, and swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. with less pain, i'm feeling better now that i've found lyrica. ask your doctor if lyrica is right for your fibromyalgia pain. ask your doctor if lyrica is right i've been a superintendent for 30 some years at many different park service units across the united states. the only time i've ever had a break is when i was on maternity leave.
9:13 am
i have retired from doing this one thing that i loved. now, i'm going to be able to have the time to explore something different. it's like another chapter. >> osgood: climate change, fact or fiction? man made or a natural cycle? these are vigorously debated questions of our time that have taken on more urgency for many with the destruction wrought by super storm sandy. our cover story is reported now by david pogue of the "new york times." >> reporter: i'll admit it. i have global warming anxiety. no, it's worse than that. i have global warming anxiety anxiety. i don't know how much i should be worried. i mean, we're bombarded by conflicting opinions. you've got the scientists going, "burning fossil fuels heats the atmosphere.
9:14 am
record temperatures. extreme weather." and then you've got the skeptics going, "oh, don't be silly. we've always had warming cycles. human activity has nothing to do with it." i feel sorry for the poor guy caught in the middle. we don't know what to think. so i've decided to go on a quest. i'm going to find the top experts. i'm going to get answers to three questions: is there climate change? are we causing it? and if so, is there anything we can do about it? here's what we know for sure. the decade beginning in the year 2000 was the hottest decade ever recorded. arctic ice has melted to the lowest levels in recorded history. and sea levels have risen eight inches since 1870. >> the impacts of climate change are becoming progressively more serious. >> reporter: if anyone knows the details, it's the i.p.c.c., the intergovernmental panel on climate change which was created by the united nations in 1988. its job is to collect climate
9:15 am
change studies from around the world and draw conclusions. its chairman is raj. >> most of the warming that is taking place is the result of human actions. >> reporter: that is greenhouse gases? >> absolutely. greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide being the most dominant. >> reporter: what makes scientists so sure that those gases are building up in the atmosphere? easy. every week they go out and rustle up some air. >> we're like 2.2 miles below sea level. you don't let cars up for the last mile. why? why all this fuss? >> we want to know that we're getting clean background air, unchecked by any sort of local pollution. >> reporter: this measuring station in bolder, colorado, is run by n.o.a.a., the national oceanic and atmospheric administration. >> remember, there is often three to five feet of snow here.
9:16 am
>> reporter: n.o.a.a.'s manager shows me how it's done. >> this is one of 70 sample sites in our network around the world globally so that these are different points on a grid, if you will, of the surface of the earth. 20,000 a year from all over the world. >> reporter: the air is sampled from the tops of 1,000-foot towers anything to make sure that the sample isn't contaminated by nearby civilization. all of those bottles from around the world get shipped to labs like this one which analyze the gases inside. >> one after the other they get injected into all the measurement machines. >> reporter: peter is the chief scientist at n.o.a.a.'s global monitoring division. that air sample collecting program is his baby. >> data show that co-2 is going up. there's absolutely zero doubt about that. >> reporter: is anybody still arguing that the changes in temperatures are just part of
9:17 am
natural earth cycles? >> they have been, yes. there are these natural fluctuations of climate. however, there's something different. you look at the rate of increase when the earth was in one of its natural cycles. what we're now having is 100 times as fast as what was happening during these natural cycles. >> reporter: how can there be such a thing as the skeptic? >> there's only a small fraction of skeptics who want to deny that the increase of greenhouse gases is due to mankind. most of them actually accept that. >> reporter: that's true. there aren't many climate change deniers anymore. but there's still plenty of discussion -- and that's the polite word for it -- about how much the planet is changing. >> this is the global average temperature record with 39,000 stations all around the world averaged together. this is the temperature record. >> reporter: berkeley physics professor richard muller and his daugherty elizabeth were global warming skeptics until they
9:18 am
spent two years conducting their own study. >> the thick black line is carbon dioxide plus volcanos and everything else is the actual temperature record. the amazing thing is how well the two fit right on top of each other. >> reporter: in a "new york times"ñi editorial, the mullers described themselves as converted global warming skeptics. but they sure don't sound very converted. >> the number of hurricanes has not been going up. the number of tornadoes has not been going up. >> reporter: what about the droughts and the fires in the west? >> well, that's because we're building closer on the fire areas. the number of fires in the united states has actually been decreasing with time. >> reporter: what about polar bears? they're dying because of global warming, no? >> no, there's no good scientific evidence for that. there's a problem that some people, whenever they see something they don't like, they attribute it to global warming, whether it's the death of the frogs or thew3 demise of the corrals in the pacific ocean. that's kind of cherry picking. they're simply saying if it's
9:19 am
bad it must be global warming. >> reporter: and that brings us to the elephant in the room. hurricane sandy. the largest atlaá> there's two things to think about. one is, will there be more storms? and the second is, will more of those storms be intense? >> reporter: john mutter teaches environmental science at colombia university. >> what's happening is that if the world is warmer overall, the area that's occupied by the tropics will get larger. so if the tropics expand, they'll bring with them their tropical weather which includes hurricanes. so imagine that now we had ten hurricanes per year and two of them are really monsters.
9:20 am
in the future, the expectation is there will still be ten but four of them will be monsters. >> reporter: there may be plenty of legitimate scientific disagreements and plenty of nasty bickering online about how much climate change we're seeing now. but the really frightening part is what's coming. >> i can actually show you temperature over centuries. >> reporter: beth russell runs a n.o.a.a. exhibit called science on a sphere which can present massive amounts of temperature visually. >> here we are in the 1880s, '90s. now in the 1900s. we've seen some changes in temperature through time but really startmy to notice a trend past the year 2000 especially, continuing to step through time, the global is starting to turn more yellows and reds. >> reporter: it's baking in here. >> it's pretty dramatic what we show in this model. it gets us up to 717 parts per million of carbon dioxide which is almost double what we have today. >> there's one thing that models seem to agree upon.
9:21 am
there will be more extreme weather. that means crop failures, for example. extreme storms also will drive people from their homes. international conflicts could easily result from it. the problem now is us. so now we don't unite and try to do something about it. we all bicker until it happens. >> reporter: even the mullers are woreyed about the future. >> we don't care about what we have already seen in terms of the warming which has been quite small. what we care about is the warming we're going to have over the next 50 years. >> reporter: why? what will happen? >> lots of people who say, oh, we'll have more hurricanes, we're going to have more droughts and more problems. but the fact is we don't know. >> reporter: here's something else nobody can agree on. what to do about global warming. >> i believe by approaching this with these interim solutions of energy efficiency and clean natural gas that that can get us to the era 30, 40, 50 years from now when solar and wind and
9:22 am
nuclear can all be competitive and take over at that point. >> reporter: china will have to be a big part of the solution. >> china surpassed the united states in 2006, by the end of this year we'll be producing twice the greenhouse gases of the united states. >> reporter: even there, the i.p.c.c.'s raj sees glimmers of hope. >> i spend a lot of time in china. i see a distinct acceptance of the fact that they need to move to a low-carbon future. >> reporter: so the debate continues about how much the earth is warming and exactly what the effects will be. but on the three key questions, all my ex-pers are unanimous. is climate change real? >> yes. absolutely. climate change is real. we've just seen the beginning of it. >> reporter: is human activity contributing to it? >> yes. over 90% evidence that human
9:23 am
beings are responsible. >> there is no doubt in my mind that humanity is the main cause. >> reporter: and is there anything we can do about it? >> yes. certainly. yes. we can do a lot. if we decide to get serious, we can avoid most of it. >> osgood: next, a general story. that was me... the day i learned i had to start insulin for my type 2 diabetes. me... thinking my only option was the vial and syringe dad used. and me... discovering once-daily levemir® flexpen. flexpen® is prefilled. doesn't need refrigeration for up to 42 days.
9:24 am
no drawing from a vial. dial the exact dose. inject by pushing a button. flexpen® is insulin delivery... my way. levemir® (insulin detemir [rdna origin] injection) is a long-acting insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes and is not recommended to treat diabetic ketoacidosis. do not use levemir® if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. the most common side effect is low blood sugar, which may cause symptoms such as sweating, shakiness, confusion, and headache. severe low blood sugar can be serious and life threatening. ask your healthcare provider about alcohol use, operating machinery, or driving. other possible side effects include injection site reactions. tell your healthcare provider about all medicines you take and all of your medical conditions. get medical help right away if you experience serious allergic reactions, such as body rash, trouble with breathing, fast heartbeat, or sweating. with flexpen®... say good night to vial and syringe. ask your doctor about levemir® flexpen. covered by 90% of insurance plans, including medicare. find your co-pay at myflexpen.com.

♪ >> osgood: and now a page from our sunday morning almanac. november 11, 1885, 127 years ago today. the day of future consequence for the u.s. army. for that was the day george s. patton was born in san gabriel california. patton attended west point and served as an officer in the army's brand new tank corps during world war i. by sheer chance the armistice that ended the war in 1918 was declared on his 33rd birthday, november 11, the date we now mark as veterans day.
9:27 am

last week's "time" magazine was taken by photographer steven wilkes. he usually operates in a more leisurely pace. hare that teichner shows us how he does it as time goes by. >> reporter: pretend you're a bird. peering down from morning until night over new york's coney island on a perfect july day. this is is what you'd see speeded up. now try to imagine capturing that whole time in one photograph. >> so if you follow this line right through here, this is where the transition happens from day into night. one of these i loved was that these two gentlemen were on opposite sides of that line. >> reporter: we thought we would tell you about photographer steven wilkes who in a manner of speaking changes time. day and night in the same photograph? can't be. of course, steven wilkes made it
9:32 am
happen. >> i wanted the right side of this photograph to be day. i knew that was going to be the most exciting time to photograph the beach. and i knew that the night was going to be the amusement park because that's the magic time. that middle area, the board walk was going to be the really perfect area to see that transition. >> reporter: coney island is only one of the new york scenes he subjected to time travel. he calls the series "day to night." this is the flat iron building on september 11, 2010. the towers of light, like ghosts of the twin towers, against the night sky. >> it's almost a celebration of what new york is to me. a love poem or sonnet to the city that i love so much. >> reporter: this is central park the day and night after an ice storm. here's how he does it. >> you never really know what you're going to see until you
9:33 am
get up above it. that's when it gets so exciting. >> reporter: to get that bird's eye view, wilkes rents a bucket truck named after a bird, the condor. >> i tell my wife, you know what? instead of that sports car when i'm, you know, 60, maybe a condor would be nice. my own private one snr you want your very own bucket truck. >> yeah, my own bucket truck. reporter: it's dawn on a cold morning again in central park. last fall. >> you can see this is starting already beginning to happen up here with the light and everything that's coming on. >> reporter: that's beautiful. isn't that... yeah, yeah beings right here. >> reporter: wow. the weather forecast. sun and, as important, no wind. >> my eyes are always scanning the scene. i mean i'm really never... we're talking now and i'm already like getting jumpy. i got to get working. >> reporter: with his cameras mounted to the platform and the computer, he's stuck up there with his assistant for the
9:34 am
duration. no bathroom breaks. for the next 15 hours, wilkes takes pictures from the same spot. what will turn out to be 1400 individual images of the world passing before his lens. all little chapters in the story of the day taking shape as time goes by. for a while, with musical accompaniment and then a transition to darkness, a movie end to the story. >> this photograph was the inspiration really for the whole concept, i think. >> reporter: in 1996, life magazine sent steven wilkes to take one long panoramaic photograph of the cast and crew from the film of romeo and juliette. >> from my lips by thine my sin is purged. >> reporter: but because of the
9:35 am
shape of the set he couldn't. so he decided to take lots of photographs and colonellage them together. >> i got to the center and i had leonardo key cap pre-owe and claire danes embracing. >> reporter: but in the mirror over here they're kissing. >> when i put this together, i had realized suddenly that i had in essence changed time with a single photograph. it stayed with me. >> reporter: until years later technology made day to night possible. >> you know, you can just see the way the light moves. it's pretty exciting. i love when the lights come up, you know. >> reporter: remember central park in the fall? back at his studio in connecticut, the first thing steven wilkes has to do is decide literally where to draw the line. where day ends and night will begin. in the final print. >> you can actually see it as time changes. >> reporter: the next step is to
9:36 am
look at everyone of the images he shot, collect his favorites and then digitally fit them together like puzzle pieces. you could go blind looking at 1400 of those. >> you're looking for some small, tiny nuanced detail. >> reporter: like the brides. the brides started to evolve. i mean basically i saw one in the morning. midday. i mean they literally were showing up all day long. >> reporter: here they all are in the finished photograph. >> it was really kind of a moment like a where's waldo. as i ket shooting i kept noticing another bride here. >> reporter: what took that one october day to shoot took four months to turn into this. >> the changing of the time in a single photograph. all the little visual stories. that's what has been so much fun about it. it is as complex a project as i think i could frankly ever imagined. it's a challenge, and i love
9:37 am
challenges. >> reporter: so steven wilkes is still at it. if new york city icons aren't challenge enough, he's thinking shanghai, jerusalem, the world. >> osgood: ahead, the art of joggling. >> it's absolutely real. osgood: but first in search of sass catch.

9:41 am
swap stories of strange sightings, mysterious animals, and elusive creatures lurking in the deep woods. you saw a big, furry creature. >> it was huge. the baby of boggy creek. reporter: there's a name for it. no, a scientific name. crypto zoology. loren coleman explains. >> crypto means hidden. zoa means animal. ology means the study off. the study of hidden or unknown animals. >> reporter: which sounds very academic until you realize that those hidden animals include the yetti better known as the abominable snowman. the loch ness monster.
9:42 am
and the favorite obsession of this crypto-zoology conference, big foot also known as sasquatch. >> it's fun. whether or not it's science, you know, it's hard to say. >> reporter: for scientist david nixon, his fascination with crypto zoology is a guilty pleasure. >> this is not exactly the kind of thing i talk about at work. >> reporter: this part of east texas, it turns out, is a hot spot of big foot activity. the legend of boggy creek which claimed to be based on real big foot sightings was filmed just an hour north of here. (screaming). it terrified teenagers across the country in 1972. >> it was the first movie i had seen in a theater where i felt like if i walked out of the theater at night, i could encounter the screen monster i had seen. >> reporter: for david coleman, that first encounter with big
9:43 am
foot inspired a lifetime of tracking him down. >> can you understand me? reporter: on the big and little screens. >> never hurts to ask. he's america's monster. so he's a shared cultural icon even if he's real or not. >> reporter: these days america's monster has inspired an avalanche of cable t6ñ shows and testimonials on the internet. >> you'll see it kind of walking. it almost looks at the camera. >> reporter: a whole army of big foot hunters. >> this is the... reporter: like bill brock has taken to the woods, hoping to catch a glimpse of the beast or at least one of his giant footprints. >> we cast this last night. last night is when we cast it. i found it the night before last. >> it was in a swampy area.
9:44 am
extremely swampy. reporter: future crypto-zoologist was intralled. >> i am a big fan of crypto-zoology by i never found something like this. >> i want to see a big foot so badly that i made a movie about it. >> reporter: the director's first movie, the blair witch project... >> come on! reporter: ... became an instant horror classic. now he's making a movie about big foot. for sanchez and producer mark ordusky big foot has been a life-long obsession. >> there's just something about it being just out of reach but not being able to actually see it. it's like this quest. >> a quest that goes ever on ward. >> reporter: they believe big foot deserves more respect. >> hey, you want to ride? big foot has been kind of a joke lately. you know, he's in the commercials and even though i
9:45 am
love that humor, i always feel like, man, i wish somebody would make a film that made big foot scary again. >> these are actual casts of big foot. >> reporter: loren coleman thinks the whole field of crypto-zoology deserves more respect. >> a lot of people would like to put it in some kind of category of pseudo science. we really reject that. this is what we call our little big foot. >> reporter: he founded the world's only crypto-zoology museum in portland maine. its logo is a strange looking fish called a celocant. it was thought to be extinct for 65 million year until one was found in 1938. >> it's a living fossil. the word living fossil is first associated with this fish. >> reporter: do you believe in big foot? >> i'm very careful about the use of the word "belief." "belief" and "believe" is really
9:46 am
